[ Upstream commit a0ac2a63d4b21455985436fbc70192da14a163fd ]

Add the necessary bits to nfs4_1.x and remove the duplicate definitions
from nfs4.h and the uapi nfs4 header. Regenerate the xdr files.

Note that regenerating these files caused conflicts with the definitions
of NFS4_VERIFIER_SIZE and NFS4_FHSIZE in include/uapi/linux/nfs4.h.
These constants are defined by the RFC, and are not part of the kernel
API. They have been removed. Userspace consumers who require those
constants should plan to get them from more authoritative sources.

The nfsstat4 enum defined in the .x is fed to the xdrgen-generated wire
encoder and decoder, which treat every enumerated value as legal on the
wire. Do not carry the NFS4ERR_FIRST_FREE sentinel (which is not a
protocol error code) into the .x; keeping it would make 10097 a value
that could leak onto the wire. Instead base nfsd's internal error codes
(NFSERR_EOF and friends) at an impossible nfsstat4 value, as lockd does
for its nlm__int__* status codes.

[ Upstream commit 68c5c42567bc462139128968ebbfadd0aefff519 ]

The discard-block check in dm_integrity_rw_tag() treats a stored tag
of all 0xf6 bytes (DISCARD_FILLER) as proof a block was discarded and
skips HMAC verification. allow_discards is only accepted in
dm-integrity's standalone mode. An attacker with raw write access to
the backing device, but without the integrity key, can stamp any block
with an all-0xf6 tag and have it served as authentic.

Add a new "allow_discards_keyed" target argument that marks discarded
blocks with a keyed checksum of (salt || sector) instead, computed by
integrity_discard_checksum().

[ Upstream commit 590d74ec8f488e06b9f1c0f8f0941f45531f3a55 ]

The UAC1_STR_ATTRIBUTE macro defines configfs show/store handlers for
the fn_play, fn_cap, and fn_cntl string options. The store function
contains an inverted null check on the kstrndup() return value.

This means every write attempt returns -ENOMEM on success and
dereferences a NULL pointer on allocation failure. The attributes
have been broken and unused for many years.

Remove the UAC1_STR_ATTRIBUTE macro and the three attributes it
generated. The internal defaults (FILE_PCM_PLAYBACK, FILE_PCM_CAPTURE,
FILE_CONTROL) set in f_audio_alloc_inst() are unaffected.

<title>leds: st1202: Fix pattern duration prescaler and pattern_clear skip marker</title>

[ Upstream commit d32f8bdc2b417a3013e1316a54a0b314f973bbc1 ]

The PATy_DUR register encodes duration as N × 22.2 ms, with register
value 0 reserved as a pattern skip indicator (§7.10). The driver
incorrectly subtracted 1 from the register value:

  value / ST1202_MILLIS_PATTERN_DUR_MIN - 1

This caused two problems:

  - All programmed durations were off by one step (~22 ms too short).
  - Writing the minimum duration (22 ms) produced register value 0,
    silently skipping the pattern step instead of setting a 22 ms
    duration.

The maximum duration constant was also wrong at 5660 ms. The 8-bit
register saturates at 255, giving a maximum of 5610 ms (22 ms × 255).
Values above 5653 ms were already producing a uint8_t overflow and
writing 0 to the hardware.

Fix the formula by removing the erroneous subtraction, and derive the
maximum from the register width so the relationship is explicit. Update
the documentation to reflect the correct maximum.

This exposes a secondary issue: pattern_clear() was calling
st1202_duration_pattern_write() with ST1202_MILLIS_PATTERN_DUR_MIN to
reset unused slots, accidentally relying on the broken formula to
produce register value 0. With the corrected formula, the same call
writes 0x01 (22 ms), leaving unused slots as valid 22 ms zero-PWM
steps and making the LED appear off for 7 × 22 ms out of every cycle.

Write 0 directly to the duration registers in pattern_clear() so unused
slots are always explicitly marked as skip, independently of the
conversion formula.

commit 49af0c7cad889f7dabe5cf080b019392066122a3 upstream.

SMPTE ST 2086 defines the nominal ranges for mastering display
chromaticity and luminance values. Its Annex A also documents that
CTA 861-G uses zero maximum and minimum luminance values to signal
that the corresponding values are unknown, and the xy chromaticity
coordinate (0, 0) to signal that the white point chromaticity is
unknown.

The V4L2 HDR10 mastering display compound control currently rejects
these values. Consequently, an unknown white point or luminance value
prevents the entire compound control from being updated, making the
other valid mastering display metadata unavailable to userspace.

Accept (0, 0) as an unknown white point and zero as an unknown maximum
or minimum mastering luminance. Continue to reject partially zero white
point coordinates and non-zero values outside the nominal ranges.
Display primary validation remains unchanged.

Document the newly accepted unknown values in the V4L2 userspace API.

commit 2b8a2e5d424f0b3369054305d0bf6a5b9faee6c1 upstream.

TLP Headers traced by HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) in
4DW format are shown in the document as below:
bits [31:30] [ 29:25 ][24][23][22][21][    20:11   ][    10:0    ]
     |-----|---------|---|---|---|---|-------------|-------------|
DW0  [ Fmt ][  Type  ][T9][T8][TH][SO][   Length   ][    Time    ]
DW1  [                     Header DW1                            ]
DW2  [                     Header DW2                            ]
DW3  [                     Header DW3                            ]

Problem:
The DW0 bit field layout of the hisi_ptt_4dw union does not match the
actual bit ordering in little-endian memory, causing incorrect field
decoding.

Test on Kunpeng 930 SOC, generating data flow with `iperf` commands:
- server side:
    iperf -s
- client side:
    iperf -c $ip_addr -t 30

Trace the TLP headers with hisi_ptt on server side at the same time:
  perf record -e hisi_ptt12_0/type=4,filter=0x05101,direction=2,format=0/ \
  --max-size 50M -o perf.data &amp;
The trace aims to capture completion TLPs, learn more in the document:
  https://docs.kernel.org/trace/hisi-ptt.html

Decode perf.data with hisi_ptt decoder:
  perf report -D

The hisi_ptt decoder produces the following result:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
.  00000000: 68 87 20 94                                 Format 3 Type 1a T9 0 T8 1 TH 1 SO 1 Length 10 Time 4a1
.  00000004: 40 00 00 00                                 Header DW1
.  00000008: 40 00 01 51                                 Header DW2
.  0000000c: 00 00 00 00                                 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]

According to PCIe r5.0 sec 2.2.1, the Fmt &amp; Type of Cpl/CplD is supposed
to be 8b'00001010' / 8b'01001010'
However, the Format &amp; Type decoder analyzing result is 8b'01111010'.
It does not match field encodings of any TLP.

Correct decoder result should be:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
.  00000000: 94 20 87 68                                 Format 2 Type a T9 0 T8 0 TH 0 SO 1 Length 10 Time 768
.  00000004: 00 00 00 40                                 Header DW1
.  00000008: 51 01 00 40                                 Header DW2
.  0000000c: 00 00 00 00                                 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]

To solve the problem:
1. Drop the union and C bitfield struct, store the raw DW value in
a plain uint32_t, and extract the fields with FIELD_GET() against
GENMASK/BIT masks declared in the header so they can be reused by
other translation units. The masks are portable across endianness and
compilers.

2. Print all DW hex values in big-endian byte order for readability,
matching the bit field layout shown in the 4DW format diagram.

3. Read the DW value with get_unaligned_le32() instead of an unaligned
pointer cast, avoiding both strict-aliasing violations and
alignment hazards on hosts that do not support unaligned access.

<title>memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a3417097fb107cea3358b19bcbb4eb655fd67f8c upstream.

The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported
depending on it.  Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the
implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it
and always report the maximum value on read similar to what
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does.

Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL.  The
knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP
on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled.

This also fixes the syzbot report linked below.  Soft limit reclaim is the
only caller that runs shrink_lruvec() from kswapd against a specific
memcg, so it is the only way to reach lru_gen_shrink_lruvec() and in turn
set_mm_walk(), which warns when called from kswapd.

<title>Docs/ABI/damon: fix typo in intervals_goal sysfs path</title>

commit 1b492fc82368399123413c937f13da6ed312ee4d upstream.

Patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions", v2.

This series fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs
ABI document (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-mm-damon).

Patch 1 fixes a path typo, "intrvals_goal" -&gt; "intervals_goal", in four
What: entries; the documented path points to a non-existent directory, so
it is Cc'ed to stable.

Patch 2 fixes two further typos ("WDate:", "manimum").

Patches 3 and 4 add ABI entries that exist in the kernel and are already
described in usage.rst but are missing from the canonical ABI document:
the 'update_tuned_intervals' state command (patch 3) and the
'tried_regions/&lt;R&gt;/probes/&lt;P&gt;/hits' file (patch 4).


This patch (of 4):

The ABI document spells the DAMON sysfs directory as "intrvals_goal"
(missing 'e') in four What: entries, but the kernel creates it as
"intervals_goal" (mm/damon/sysfs.c).  Following the documented path
therefore yields a non-existent directory.
